Planning & FAQ

Planning

If you are flying into Baja, you have two options: 1) San Jose del Cabo and Loreto airport.San Jose del Cabo is a bigger and much busier airport than Loreto, providing more options and potentially better prices. However, it is approximately a 5 hour drive to Puerto San Carlos.

It is hard to make it to Puerto San Carlos from San Jose del Cabo the day you arrive. You can either stay in San Jose and travel the next day, or easily take the Van shuttles to La Paz, stay there and continue your travel the following day.

If you fly into Loreto, you have less options, but it is only a 2 hour drive to Puerto San Carlos and it is a small, quaint Mexican town also worth a visit. Alaska airlines has daily flight from Los Angeles USA to Loreto departing at 10:30 am.The Loreto Airport is out of town, so you have to take a taxi into town to your hotel (if you are staying there) or to the bus depot if you plan to continue on that day to Puerto San Carlos.​

Once we live town and start Camping, then we can relax and start enjoying the nature of the area.Coffee is ready first thing in the morning (hot water for tea, for those rare non-coffee drinkers).First Leg will take place in a setting of san dunes and mangroves for the first half, so Bird watching, sun rice sceneries are the highlights of the mornings.Second half, we still get some mangroves and sand dunes, but also the terrain starts getting more mountainous. We should be able to do some hiking and get some elevation to enjoy nice views.After breakfast, we will discuss our options for the day, we will look at the chart and make the plan for the day.We will be taking in the kayaks most of our gear and lunch. We do not see the Panga support (boat) until the end of the day. How ever we will be in communication.We will be free to explore as we go. We will stop for lunch along the way, relax for a bit and resume kayaking to our destination for the day.Some days, our lunch destinations will be our camping spot. If we like the area and want to enjoy it more, we can stay.We are planning to have at least on Day of, where we don’t move camp. This is always nice to just have the time to relax and do some other activities.
